Central unit handover method and service processing apparatus

Abstract

A central unit handover method includes: receiving, by a first distributed unit DU, a first bearer setup request that is about a first service and that is sent by a target central unit CU, where the first bearer setup request includes a first service identifier; determining, by the first DU based on the first service identifier, whether a service resource needs to be allocated to the first service; and sending, by the first DU, a first bearer setup response to the target CU, where the first bearer setup response includes information used to indicate whether the service resource needs to be allocated to the first service.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A central unit handover method, comprising:
 receiving, by a first distributed unit (DU), a first bearer setup request that is about a first service and that is sent by a target central unit (CU), wherein the first bearer setup request comprises a first service identifier; 
 determining, by the first DU based on the first service identifier, whether a service resource needs to be allocated to the first service; and 
 sending, by the first DU, a first bearer setup response to the target CU, wherein the first bearer setup response comprises information used to indicate whether the service resource needs to be allocated to the first service, 
 wherein the determining, by the first DU based on the first service identifier, whether the service resource needs to be allocated to the first service comprises: 
 if a service identifier set comprises the first service identifier, and a service indicated by any service identifier in the service identifier set is a service being executed by the first DU, determining, by the first DU, that no service resource needs to be allocated to the first service; or 
 if the service identifier set does not comprise the first service identifier, determining, by the first DU, that the service resource needs to be allocated to the first service. 
 
     
     
       2. The method according to  claim 1 , after determining, by the first DU, that the service resource needs to be allocated to the first service, further comprising:
 allocating, by the first DU, a first service resource to the first service. 
 
     
     
       3. The method according to  claim 1 , before receiving, by the first distributed unit DU, the first bearer setup request that is about the first service and that is sent by the target central unit CU, further comprising:
 receiving, by the first DU, a second bearer setup request that is about a second service and that is sent by a source CU; 
 generating, by the first DU, a second service identifier based on the second service, and using the second service identifier as one of the service identifier set; and 
 sending, by the first DU, a second bearer setup response to the source CU, wherein the second bearer setup response comprises the second service identifier. 
 
     
     
       4. The method according to  claim 3 , after receiving, by the first DU, the second bearer setup request that is about the second service and that is sent by the source CU, further comprising:
 allocating, by the first DU, a second service resource to the second service. 
 
     
     
       5. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first service identifier is an identifier of the service resource of the first service. 
     
     
       6. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first service is a data domain service or a circuit domain service. 
     
     
       7. A service processing apparatus, comprising:
 a processor; and 
 a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the processor, the programming instructions instruct the processor to: 
 receive a first bearer setup request that is about a first service and that is sent by a target central unit (CU), wherein the first bearer setup request comprises a first service identifier; 
 determine, based on the first service identifier, whether a service resource needs to be allocated to the first service; and 
 send a first bearer setup response to the target CU, wherein the first bearer setup response comprises information used to indicate whether the service resource needs to be allocated to the first service, 
 wherein the programming instructions instruct the processor to: 
 if a service identifier set comprises the first service identifier, and a service indicated by any service identifier in the service identifier set is a service being executed by a first DU, determine that no service resource needs to be allocated to the first service; or if the service identifier set does not comprise the first service identifier, determine that the service resource needs to be allocated to the first service. 
 
     
     
       8. The service processing apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the programming instructions instruct the processor to: allocate a first service resource to the first service. 
     
     
       9. The service processing apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the programming instructions instruct the processor to:
 receive, a second bearer setup request that is about a second service and that is sent by a source CU; 
 generate a second service identifier based on the second service, and use the second service identifier as one of the service identifier set; and 
 send, a second bearer setup response to the source CU, wherein the second bearer setup response comprises the second service identifier. 
 
     
     
       10. The service processing apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the programming instructions instruct the processor to:
 allocate a second service resource to the second service. 
 
     
     
       11. The service processing apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the first service identifier is an identifier of the service resource of the first service. 
     
     
       12. The service processing apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the first service is a data domain service or a circuit domain service. 
     
     
       13. A computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program codes stored thereon, executable by one or more processors for performing handover, the computer program codes including wherein the instructions comprises:
 instructions for receiving a first bearer setup request that is about a first service and that is sent by a target central unit (CU), wherein the first bearer setup request comprises a first service identifier; 
 instructions for determining based on the first service identifier, whether a service resource needs to be allocated to the first service; and 
 instructions for sending a first bearer setup response to the target CU, wherein the first bearer setup response comprises information used to indicate whether the service resource needs to be allocated to the first service, 
 wherein the instructions for determining based on the first service identifier, whether a service resource needs to be allocated to the first service comprises: 
 if a service identifier set comprises the first service identifier, and a service indicated by any service identifier in the service identifier set is a service being executed by the first DU, determining, by the first DU, that no service resource needs to be allocated to the first service; or 
 if the service identifier set does not comprise the first service identifier, determining, by the first DU, that the service resource needs to be allocated to the first service. 
 
     
     
       14. The computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 13 , wherein the instructions further comprises:
 instructions for allocating a first service resource to the first service. 
 
     
     
       15. The computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 13 , wherein the instructions further comprises:
 instructions for receiving a second bearer setup request that is about a second service and that is sent by a source CU; 
 instructions for generating a second service identifier based on the second service, and using the second service identifier as one of the service identifier set; and 
 instructions for sending a second bearer setup response to the source CU, wherein the second bearer setup response comprises the second service identifier. 
 
     
     
       16. The computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 15 , wherein the instructions further comprises:
 instructions for allocating a second service resource to the second service. 
 
     
     
       17. The computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 13 , wherein the first service identifier is an identifier of the service resource of the first service.
